For Sale: Dutch thoroughbred: Batavus Professional SP

Offering Batavus Professional frameset * SOLD *

Fine Dutch competition aimed frame of the early 90s. Similar frames were raced by the Dutch National team to victories on Worlds and Olympic events. For example by Erik Dekker and Leontien van Moorsel.

This particular frame is made using full Columbus SP tubing, what means it lends itself very well for the heavier and/or stronger rider. The frame is handbuilt in Holland at Batavus' own small series shop.

I am personally very much fan of this paintscheme: It is an original one with silver, red and a nice ....lila candy

Features:

• full Columbus SP tubing
  
• Bocama Professional lugs
  
• Cinelli Aero crown
  
• Dardanne open bottom bracket shell
  
• Campagnolo drop outs
  
• chromed chainstay
  
• brake cable through toptube routing
  
• metal headbadge
  
• Seattube: 60cm C-T
  
• Toptube: 575mm
  
• braze on for race number
  
  

Condition:
Honest frame with patina. It is a used frame, so expect scratches and other paint imperfections. Backside seatstays 10cm under seatlug shows paintdamage, possibly caused by fender. Structurally the frame is 100% sound and ready for many many fast miles. I personally believe it will make a great looking bike as rider, but view pics to form your own opinion. There are many.

Comes with:
Suntour Superbe headset. Topcup that fits into the frame needs replacing, as the current one is eating balls.

Looking for 160 GBP shipped

I have also a Presto available atm. View it here

LMAO.

Very nice frame.

I just bought one similar off Zieleman and it arrived with no problems.

I was just about to attest to Zielemans fine grasp of the art of packing, and the speed with which his packages arrive.

Whilst the above is true I do have an ulterior motive- Zieleman, would you be able to help me find a similar Rigida rim to the one that came with the Koga but in NOS/close to NOS and gunmetal?

Dammit,

You mean 700 to match with the 650 the frame came with? Or a new 650?

Does it mind if it isn't a Regida, but a rim in similar finishing? (without decal alike)

too big! ... (phew)

I just picked up a NOS 650 DP 18 Clincher that is finished in gunmetal grey, with these stickers (identical to those on the 700C that came with the Koga):

So I'm looking for a 700C in as close to new condition as possible in gunmetal to match.

Okay, I understand

I do have a pair in titanium finish, but it is destinied to go on my own Gazelle lo pro. If the project won't go through I will let you know. Don't count too much on it though, as I do have pretty much all parts ready. The rims do show some brake wear on the flanges btw, what is not really a problem for me as I will be running my lo pro with Deltas, but I assume you will go for fixed.

I'm actually scouting around for a full Dura Ace 7403/7410 groupset for it so it can be run 2X8 for out of town and then fixed around town.

Is what I have referred to as gunmetal the same as Titanium?

Let me know anyway- I'll stop threadjacking now!

The ti finish has a clearer, lighter beige tone than gunmetal as I know it.

Page of the 1995 catalogue, for as far I know the last year they did the fine steel frames. You could buy finished bike or opt for frameset only. There were many custom options available, like in tubing, braze ons, chrome etc.

The bike pictured in the catalogue uses SLX tubing. The seatstay tops tell you, as they differ from the wrap over tops present on the 531P, SL or SP frames.

damn thats a nice frame but Im poor and need something a bit cheaper, got anthing cheaper Zieleman

Or everyone is broke or the general consensus is the snow will be here forever

Still available

No longer available

The Batavus found a new happy owner

hello, I like your Presto.
They don't make them anymore and will be a real collectors item.
Lucky, there are still other real dutch frames around.
